4. Operating the Code 25
4.1 Keys and Aftertouch
The Code 25 features 25 full-size, velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch. Velocity sensitivity means the volume or intensity of a note changes based on how hard you press the key. Aftertouch allows for additional expressive control by applying pressure to a key after it has been pressed, which can be assigned to parameters like vibrato or filter cutoff in your software.
4.2 Almofadas
The 16 velocity-sensitive pads are ideal for triggering samples, playing drums, or launching clips. They are multicolor-backlit, providing visual feedback. Pads can be assigned to different MIDI notes or functions within your DAW.
4.3 Faders and Encoders
The Code 25 includes 5 assignable 30mm faders and 4 assignable 360° encoders. These controls can be mapped to various parameters in your software, such as volume levels, pan, filter cutoff, resonance, or effect sends. Multiple banks are accessible via dedicated left/right buttons, expanding the number of parameters you can control.
4.4 X/Y Touchpad
The 55mm x 55mm touch-sensitive X/Y Touchpad allows for intuitive and simultaneous control of two parameters (one along the X-axis and one along the Y-axis). This is particularly useful for manipulating effects or instrument parameters in real-time, adding dynamic expression to your music.
4.5 Assignable Zones
The keyboard can be split into four assignable zones. This feature allows you to control different instruments or sounds from different sections of the keyboard simultaneously. For example, you could trigger a bass sound from the lower keys and a lead synth from the upper keys, or layer multiple sounds in a single zone.
